Idiot. Should have shot from where he caught it. That goes in against us. 🤣
A loss gets us closer to Fran gone
I think he's gone either at end of this year or next just based on his own incompetence. They're darn lucky that PSU is lousy.
The FT shooting from both the men and women is maddening.
Definitely lucked out, but terrible strategy in the last three minutes by McCaffery. He really is a terrible game coach, just terrible
fvcking iowa can only win by 1 lost me 600 on a parlay. I hate you Fran
Put Mulvey there on that inbounds more often Fran let’s go all Les Jepson.
Very fortunate, Pissed down their leg at the FT line and luckily didn’t bite them in the ass.
For a while, Iowa's offense looked good. Then it came to a screeching halt during the last several minutes.
Nice non loss boys. Can’t call it a win but technically I guess it is.
team has no mental toughness and that is on the players. you make free throws you win……..you want to win, concentrate and make the daaaaaammmm free throws.
Love Hawks, not a Fran fan. Coaching malpractice.
Way too early to start watching the clock and dribbling the ball at half court.
That's the winningest Hawkeye coach at his best.
No problem. Had my lucky sardines.
Barely survive at home against a team that might not quality for the conference tournament, coming off 2 bad and 1 atrocious losses ........
Some baffling turnovers, terrible ft shooting, stone feet help defending, mind numbing whistles.
Hot 3 point shooting, timely rebounding and Penn St. missing.
We will take the win.
Where was Traore in the 2nd half?

Fran cannot make FTs. For crying out loud can folks stop blaming him for players just not performing? A coach puts players in position to make plays. It is on the player to do it. 1-7 FTs is on the players, not the coaches. FTs in practice are fine and every team does it. Doing it in a game is on the shooters. Fran makes enough head scratching decisions in games but making FTs is not on him.
he will never reach next level with his roster construction in this version of the game. You need man beater guards with strong handles and brutes on the block.

Better than losing? Gotta start somewhere... I know we did what we always do in allowing it to be close but I felt better about the performance.
Harding got owned by Baldwin. Nobody told Fran he needed to go back to starting lineup when they had gotten 8pt lead without both Harding and Drew and small ball. That was Fran's coaching decision.
I'll be honest, I didn't even really watch it. Just kept a wandering eye on it from time to time.
Had the game on, with no sound, on a small auxiliary TV while watching something else on the main one.
Only surviving by the smallest margin possible at home vs a bottom third of the conference team just adds to my apathy, truthfully.

Good win, but a couple of questions.... why not more Traore? More Mulvey? Timeouts carry over to tournaments, Fran?
You know, the usual.

Practicing free throws is definitely something coaches have control over. They suck because they are probably just scrimmaging all the time instead of addressing it.
PSU had 12 second chance points off 8 offensive rebounds.
1st half: 2 pts off of 1 offensive rebound
2nd half: 10 pts off of 7 offensive rebounds
yikes.

This game changes nothing! If anything if reinforces that Fran needs to go! The last 3 minutes of the game was lackluster coaching and they almost blew it!
Kind of like watching a horror flick with your open fingers covering your face.
